A Small Misunderstanding

After his death in a cave somewhere in Afghanistan, an angel escorted Osama bin Laden on his way to the pearly gates.

There, he was greeted by George Washington. "How dare you attack the nation I helped conceive!" yelled Washington, and slapped Osama across the face.

Patrick Henry came up from behind. "You wanted to end America's liberty, so they gave you death!" He then punched bin Laden in the nose.

James Madison came next, and said, "This is why I allowed the government to provide for the common defense!" He took a sledge hammer and whacked Osama's knees.

Osama was subjected to similar beatings from John Randolph, James Monroe, and 65 other people who had the same love for liberty and America. As he writhed on the ground, Thomas Jefferson hurled him back toward the gate where he was to be judged.

As bin Laden awaited his journey to his final (and very hot) destination, he screamed, "This is not what I was promised!"

The angel replied, "I told you there would be 72 Virginians waiting for you. What did you think I said?"
